It wouldn't be the Jordiemobile if it wasn't just a *little* bit shonky...

Just like mine wouldn't be the same without a few choice dents/rust holes...

Cable times cost nothing though, compared to P clips and its only temporary permanent

Cable ties don’t need holes drilling either.

Looks very similar to last week but done quite a bit of tidying and plumbing work.

Fuel tank is plumbed in and it sucks the fuel through properly, does need new fuel lines fitting.

Cable tied 99% of the wiring and pipes into place, last couple still to do but didn’t have the right size drill bit to bolt the junction box to it. Thats on order too.

The battery is knackered, tried charging it, no joy. New battery ordered.

Had an issue with the headlights being constantly on, 99% sure that was a dim dip relays issue. Disconnected it and everything seems to be working fine.

New battery fitted. Started first go, oil and filter changed. Brakes bled and checked over.

That's too tidy. Stop embarassing us! (by "us" I clearly mean "me"...)
